The cottage was very clean and well cared for. The kitchen is exceptionally well stocked. Although it is only two blocks from the lake and an easy location to everything, it felt private and was quiet and peaceful.

Quite and convenient

Out of the way of all the crowds but close enough to easily walk to stores, beach and restaurants. Communication with owners was terrific. Cottage was great, perfect setup for small family. Loved that kayaks, kayak carts and equipment were available for us to use, only a short walk to beach. Definitely stay here again.

Ephraim cottage

We loved our time spent here. The cottage was clean and the perfect size for our two-person getaway (could also fit up to 7 comfortably), had everything we needed, and was in a great location! Our hosts were easy to communicate with and very helpful/friendly. Would absolutely stay here again and recommend to anyone who is looking for a fun and scenic trip to Door County! We are returning refreshed and rejuvenated.

Marathon weekend stay!

Had a great stay at the Harbor House cottage! We were in town for a half marathon at Peninsula Park which was less then two miles! The place was clean and felt welcoming! We will be back in the future and will hopefully have a chance to use the kayaks, fire pit and gazebo all available for use!!!!
